Anyone can find the popular spots, but if you’re willing to embrace the unknown, you’ll find that Salinas is full of hidden gems.

I get the turkey dill crepe and it's always fantastic. My husband gets the skillet with mushrooms and ham and he raves about it. Never a complaint with First awakenings. Great, fast service -- Amanda Moore via Foursquare

An "Internet Cafe" (Public computers rent by-the-minute in the back), the place is usually crowded. Hit or miss table availablity. Closest place to Maya Cinemas that offers wifi. Free. -- Cristal Clark via Foursquare
